MEOWTH: My gut just gave up!

JESSIE: The line that connectsmy nose and tummy's ringing...

JAMES:Well, consider the source!

JAMES: Though it may be hard

to fill our empty stomachssporting empty pockets...

MEOWTH:Man, my hungry meter is on tilt!

JESSIE: Sorry Meowth,

JAMES: We'll mop thefloor to settle the score!

CHRISTOPHER:What are you talking about?

I just wanted to say helloto my old friends and mentors!

JAMES: We're mentors?

JESSIE: There's a new one!

MEOWTH: I don't evenknow what that means

CHRISTOPHER: James. Jessie!Take a look at my face.

It's your oldfriend Christopher!

JESSIE, JAMES: Christopher?

CHRISTOPHER: When we were inTeam Rocket training school

CHRISTOPHER:I couldn't do anything right!

But no matter how low I felt

you two were alwaysthere to cheer me up!

CHRISTOPHER:You were so kind to me

when you told me there'smore to life than Team Rocket!

CHRISTOPHER: Then you treatedme to a bowl of ramen noodles

and I never forgothow delicious they were,

and how nice you were!

CHRISTOPHER: So when I came backhere to my old stomping grounds

here in the Sinnoh region,

I opened "Jessie &James' Noodle Shop."

CHRISTOPHER: Believe it or not

I served a whopping one thousandbowls of noodles in one day!

CHRISTOPHER: Now I've got elevenshops located all over Sinnoh!

CHRISTOPHER:And thanks to everyone's support

they're the most popularRamen shops anywhere!

JAMES: That means you've morphedyourself into a huge success!

JESSIE: Now I think we shouldstart calling you our mentor!

MEOWTH: I don't think I ever met

a noodling tycoonbefore in my life!

CHRISTOPHER:But what I need you to know is

that none of thiswould've happened

without your supportso eat all you want

and remember your money isno good around my restaurant!

JESSIE: I guess beingnice does have its perks.

JAMES:As opposed to being dumb jerks!

MEOWTH: Wow! Freebie noodleswith all of the works!

MEOWTH: Incoming.

CHRISTOPHER: Technique likeI've never seen before!

MEOWTH: Don't get out much, huh?

CHRISTOPHER: Never have I seensuch brilliantly sliced noodles

in my years as a chef!

CHRISTOPHER: You mustagree to come work for me

in my shops as the one andonly head noodle-making master,

please!

MEOWTH: Who me?

CHRISTOPHER: Yes!

Because you're the noodle-makingartisan of the century.

I'd like you toeventually take over the reins

at my main noodle shop!

MEOWTH:Let's see. The Noodle King...

MEOWTH: I've beenpromoted to shop manager

and business is booming!

MEOWTH:That's what I'm talking about...

JAMES: Well not us!

JAMES: Meowth just happensto be part of our team!

JESSIE: It's Meowth'sjob to manufacture machines

plus the careand feeding thereof!

CHRISTOPHER: Man, but whata waste of artistic talent...

MEOWTH: Hold the phone!

My favorite joints arenoodle shops and yours rock!

CHRISTOPHER: But I would neverdo anything to inconvenience

or dishonor my dearmentors Jessie and James!

MEOWTH: Oh great. Oy vey...

ASH: Man,those noodles were the best!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

DAWN: It's a chain restaurant!If we see another one let's go!

PIPLUP: [AGREEING]

ASH: What could that be?

JESSIE:Listen! Twerps outside the bowl!

JAMES: We're bringinggoodies and ready to roll!

JESSIE: Noodles!

JAMES: And broth!

MEOWTH: With a lot of soul!

JESSIE:Eat in, take out, your call!

JAMES:Either way, you'll have a ball!

JESSIE: Delights toplease the tummy and eye!

JAMES: The more you eat themore we make. Give us a try!

JESSIE: Jessie!

JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth's the name!

JESSIE: Placing thosenoodles on your plate!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH:Ain't we great?

ASH: You've lost it this time...

JESSIE:Teach that Twerp a lesson!

MEOWTH: Yes'm!

MEOWTH: Go Noodle Nabber!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU:[SHOCKED]

ASH: Pikachu!Break free with Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE: You knew wewere going to get zapped

so why didn'tyou prepare for it?

JAMES: The nerve!A needless waste of food!

MEOWTH: So next timewe're in the kitchen,

you do the cooking honeyand I'll do the dishes!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH:We're blasting off again!

MEOWTH:I still don't like seaweed.

JESSIE: Lost because ofanother dumb idea from James

JAMES: Perish the thought!

This fiasco was formedfrom Meowth's madness!

JESSIE: Point taken.

The idea was goodbut the execution stunk!

JAMES: No use cryingover spilled broth!

Our time's better spenttraining our talents

on toppling those Twerps!

MEOWTH: Well, count me out!

MEOWTH:The only talent this Team's got

is getting ourclueless clocks cleaned

by a bunch of babblingboneheads, and you know it!

MEOWTH:I'm going back to that shop

and training tobecome a noodle master!

JAMES: But what aboutconquering the Sinnoh region

while climbingthe corporate ladder

and finally enjoying thefinancial fruits of our labor?

MEOWTH:Stop with the double talk!

MEOWTH: Meeting up withChristopher was kismet!

MEOWTH: Destiny's callingme to do thething I do best,

and that's slicing and dicing!

MEOWTH: So take it slowand I'll catch you later

JAMES: All right wenever should've said that

exploding electricallyvulnerable noodle nabber

was all your fault so you win!

But please,we're still a team...

MEOWTH: Not any more losers!

JAMES: Meowth wait!

JESSIE: James, stop

JESSIE: Meowth has to be Meowth.

And if that meanshacking hoards of noodles

in a nifty noodle shop whoare we to argue with success?

JAMES: But...

JAMES: It's not the same when

a third of your team fliesoff to fortune and fame...

JESSIE: Two thirds.

JESSIE: Quitting Team Rocketwill be good for me too!

JAMES: What?

JESSIE: Time to givetop Coordinator Jessilina

the full-time shotshe truly deserves!

JAMES: Jessie, are you mad?

JESSIE: James you shouldgive this some thought!

You do come from afilthy-rich family.

And what about thatfiance-in-waiting?

JAMES: But we've worked so hardto make our dreams come true...

JESSILINA: All dreamscome to an end eventually.

JESSILINA: And the end ofours is now. I'm out of here!

JAMES: So the firsttime the going gets rough

you spin your way out of it!Loser! A quitter never wins!

JAMES: I'll rise so high on theTeam Rocket ladder of success

you'll need atelescope to see me!

JAMES:Ah! That looks just like Meowth.

And there's Jessie!

JAMES:I wonder what those two scamps

are up to right about now?

JAMES: Bah. When it comesto playing the tough guy

I talk the talkbut balk at the walk.

BROCK: Why don't westop here for the night?

ASH: Sure!

JAMES: That screeching,it's the Twerps!

DAWN: Hey did you hear about thedifferently colored Metagross?

ASH: What about it?

DAWN: There were a bunch oftrainers at the noodle shop

talking about how itappears on the rocky mountain,

and it's not that far from here!

BROCK:I wonder if the strange coloring

on a rare Metagross like that

has anything to do with therocky mountain's environment?

JAMES: A rare find like that

could wind upmaking me a fortune!

I'll just catch and gift thatoff-color Pokémon to the Boss!

JAMES:So! There's no time to waste!

JAMES: Life is good!

ASH: I say if thatMetagross's really that rare

let's go check out that rockymountain tomorrow first thing!

DAWN: That might notbe such a good idea.

ASH: Why not Dawn?

DAWN: Apparently thatMetagross is really aggressive!

See, everyone who'sever tried to catch it

winds up getting seriously hurt!

BROCK:Well I've heard that Metagross

have such incrediblecalculation abilities

they're almost likewalking super-computers!

ASH: I still wish Icould see it though...

PIKACHU: [DREAMY]

JAMES: Hmm...

JAMES: That one-of-a-kindMetagross must be just up ahead!

JAMES: Off we go!

TRAINER B: So I said-

TRAINER A: Hey! Is somebodyclimbing up Metagross Mountain?

TRAINER B:He must be out of his mind!

JAMES:If I rustle up that rarity

and tell the Boss itscapture was a triple team effort

we'll be his boardof directors for sure!

JAMES: If Jessie and Meowth werefaced with that kind of success

they'd return in a heartbeat!

JAMES Well get ready!

JESSILINA: Yanmega let'sget this party started!

YANMEGA: [APPEARING]

YANMEGA: [HAPPY]

JESSILINA: Style and grace

with "triple winner"written all over my face!

TRAINER A: That's impossible...

JESSILINA: What did you say?

TRAINER B: Well of course it is!

No way anyone couldcome back unharmed

after battlingthat rare Metagross!

JESSILINA: At least theyweren't talking about me.

TRAINER A:Getting a few bumps and bruises

would be considered lucky!

I've heard of Trainers vanishingafter battling that Metagross!

TRAINER B: Whoa, that poor guy.

Another naive Trainer thinkinghe can catch a Metagross!

TRAINER A: I remember he had

that big red 'R' onthe front of his shirt.

JESSILINA: What? Big red 'R'on the front of his shirt?

Must be James!

JESSILINA: Okay listen up!

I want to know exactlywhat you're talking about!

JAMES:So this is the rocky environment

for an oddlycolored Metagross eh?

JAMES:Hey! Come on out Metagross,

and show me that odd coloring!Hello?

JESSILINA:Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!

CHRISTOPHER: I wouldn't havean odd dressed mentor like you!

JESSILINA:Odd? Speak for yourself!

MEOWTH: Jessie?

CHRISTOPHER: I'm so sorry!

CHRISTOPHER:I didn't realize it was you!

Please forgive my rudeness!

JESSILINA : You stepped in itbig time but I'll forgive you.

MEOWTH: Hey Boss!So what's cooking out here?

CHRISTOPHER: Meowth!

Jessie's here and she said shewanted to have a word with you!

JESSILINA:Meowth, it's about James...

MEOWTH: Look, get off my back!

MEOWTH: Dig it! The Meowthyou used to know is gone!

JESSILINA: Meowth, gone?

MEOWTH: And now I'vefinally found somebody

who appreciates mytalents a lot more

JESSILINA:Believe me, you've earned it.
